Upper Heyford to Wolverton Junction
Foolishly decided to stop for lunch at the Rock of Gibraltar. I was suspicious when I saw that the moorings were empty and sure enough they were not doing food. It seems that it has changed hands again and have not yet got their act together. Having gone to the effort of moor we decided to have a beer anyway which was also a bad idea as none of the three beers were on form but not bad enough to reject. Carried on to Wolvercote junction where we moored on the mooring below the lock and just past the junction. Unfortunately at Wolvercote lock Muffin tried to walk across the bottom gate on what looked like a board that you could walk on but it was not wide enough and he fell in again. After dinner on board we walked down the towpath to the Plough Inn on the green at Wolvercote which I had always noticed when passing. Despite being a Greene King pub they do usually have a real guest beer and one was put on during our visit, Robinsons Dizzy Blonde. Andy left us here to go home and we walked back to the boat via the national cycleway number 5.
